Troubleshooting
Power on/off problems If you have problems powering on/off components that have mechanical (push-in type) power switches: Make sure these power switches are
always set to the on position (pushed in).
Check that each components AC power cord is connected to its respective switched AC outlet of the receiver.
TV sound problems If you do not hear the sound of the TV speaker: Make sure you connected the TVs audio
output to the receiver's audio input. If your TV has both fixed and variable
audio inputs, make sure you used the fixed audio input. Also, make sure your TV speakers are turned off.
You should hear the TV sound from the systems loudspeakers via the receiver, not the speakers of the TV. The receiver, not the TVs, controls the loudspeaker volume. To control the TV volume, set up the commander (see Switching the volume control function).
Cable box problems If you have problems with your cable box: If the cable box still does not work, check
with your cable company to see if they can provide you with a compatible box. (Some cable companies disable the IR capability of their boxes if you don't rent their specific remote control. Contact your cable company to make sure your cable box has its IR capability enabled.)
Make sure that the power of the cable box is always on.
When you power on/off the cable box, see Turning on the components.
If you have any other problems using your cable box, check the following: When operating the cable box, point the
commander at the cable box.
Setting up problems If the code listed first for your component
doesnt work, try all the codes listed for your component in the order in which they were listed.
Make sure the batteries youre using are not worn out, and that theyre inserted correctly. Note that the setting may be erased if you take a long time to replace the batteries.
Check that the component has infrared capability. For example, if your component didnt come with a remote control, it probably isnt capable of being controlled by a remote control.
When you clear all the settings of the commander, press and hold the VOL -, SYSTEM OFF, and UNIT OFF buttons successively.
